Gulf island sea planes

A lot of hard work and dedication, along with a little luck, went into making the Gulf Island Seaplanes of today! In 2005 Sean and Alison met, a pilot and a legal assistant, destined to become a happy family of six, with three daughters and one son. Sean had spent many years prior to this meeting as a pilot in North western Ontario and was happy to find work on the west coast as a pilot for Tofino Air. Eventually, after becoming Chief Pilot, Sean took on many more responsibilities with Tofino Air and the job took him to many destinations where he gained invaluable experience and knowledge of flying on the west coast of British Columbia.

Now as luck would have it the owner of Tofino Air decided to sell the scheduled route from Gabriola Island to YVR, Vancouver so Sean and Alison made the incredibly exciting and somewhat daunting decision to create GULF ISLAND SEAPLANES! The two have supported one another in their business venture ever since and thankfully are suited to different aspects that complement one another in the running of the airline. A carefully selected and incredibly strong group of employees are the heart and soul of the business, our strength lies with our team and with this team there is no telling where Gulf Island Seaplanes is headed!
